Patterns of Evidence - The Moses Controversy - DVD

Is the Bible the inspired word of God? Or is it a book of fables and myths? Award-winning investigative filmmaker Timothy Mahoney returns with a brand-new investigation, Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy. Mahoney was raised to believe the stories of the Bible were true, including its claim that Moses wrote its first books. But mainstream scholars reject this idea. They state Moses didn't even have a writing system like Hebrew to write the first books of the Bible. Traveling throughout the Middle East to see where the patterns lead, Mahoney uncovers profound archaeological evidence for the world's first alphabet and its connection to Moses, Hebrew writing and the early Israelites. The film is a Bible-affirming journey into the story of the writing of the first books of the Bible confronting the skeptics and the naysayers with powerful evidence.

This documentary film investigation addresses one of the most serious attacks on the Bible by mainstream scholars against Mosaic authorship of the first books of the Bible also known as the Torah or Pentateuch.

Why is it important to refute skeptics' attack on the authorship of Moses? The Bible's historical credibility is built on Moses' authorship. It references the writings of Moses' throughout the scriptures. Even Jesus stated, "For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?" John 5:46-47

What Discoveries does this investigation uncover?

a. Evidence for a new writing system that is not Egyptian showing up at the right time and place where the Israelites would have lived during their time in Egypt.

b. The new writing system is a Semitic form of writing like Hebrew.

c. It is discovered to be the world's first alphabet and the basis for all alphabets throughout the world.

d. This alphabet script leaves Egypt and travels to Israel matching the history of the Israelites journey to the Promise Land.

e. Some scholars even claim they can read the inscriptions as Hebrew.

Bonus Discovery: Bonus Discovery: Director Timothy Mahoney believes that the arrival of this alphabet, coming to the Israelites in time for Moses to write the first books of the Bible, is not a coincidence. He believes a case can be made that the ultimate reason for the gift of the alphabet is to retain the knowledge of God for all mankind. History demonstrates that no other book has utilized the alphabet into more alphabetic languages around the world than the Bible.
